Awful- cockroaches in the toilet, security was a flimsy bike lock and staff were quite rude when we said we had an early check out not worth £40 a night at all
Left after one night - The dorm was not how it looked in the photos - the lockers were rusted to the point they were not secure, the curtains only went around one side of the top bunk so when the door was open to the dorm (which was always) everyone could see into my bed, and the room was filthy - there were blood stains on my sheets and the room was generally filthy - do not recommend!!
Definitely would not recommend staying here - stayed one night then moved elsewhere. Dorm is dark, in desperate need of a refurb, and looks nothing like the photos. For example there are no lockers under the bed but some old rusty ones that hardly even fit a mini rucksack. Activities were lacking, facilities are tired, sheets were stained, WiFi only worked sometimes. Positives are good location and people working there seemed nice. So confused by positive reviews as it was so disappointing.
Er waren veel privé kamer, en maar 2 gedeelde kamers van elk 6 personen. Iedereen was erg op zichzelf. Indien je aan het soloreizen bent en graag contact hebt met anderen zouden wij het niet aanraden. Ook mocht er overal gerookt worden, dus kan je je ontbijt soms happen met rook. Verder is vooral Barbara van de receptie enorm vriendelijk en de locatie dicht bij het strand!
There were many private rooms, and only 2 shared rooms for 6 people each. everyone was very self-conscious. if you are solo traveling and like to be in contact with others we would not recommend it. also there may be smoking everywhere, so you can sometimes have your breakfast with smoke. moreover especially Barbara van the reception is extremely friendly and the location close to the beach!
Franchement un peu nul. Sanitaire et douches sans eau la plupart du temps. Tipi minuscule. Pas d'ambiance et interdit de ramener des bières persos. Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est même à Holbox. A mon avis et celui d'autres voyageurs bonnes notes car une boisson offerte si on écrit une évaluation devant eux.
Frankly a bit of a zero. Sanitary and showers without water most of the time. Tiny guy. No ambiance and no bringing back persos beers. Much too expensive for what it is even in Holbox. In my opinion and that of other travelers good marks because a drink is offered if you write a rating in front of them.
We liked our stay very much. The atmosphere was great and we stayed for five nights. For every night we got more and more bites. Unfortunately we just found out that it is bites by bedbugs :(
bon emplacement et beau lieu mais déçus de l'hostel comparé aux commentaires qu'on avait lu. Le staff était à l'écoute si on posait une question mais c'est tout, ça manquait d'initiative: eau pas renouvelée à part si on demande après être passés devant le bidon vide 5 fois, les essuis mains pas remplacés si pas remis par la femme de ménage, et le ménage laisse clairement à désirer.cuisine vraiment très sale,tout le temps (poussière, nourriture dans l'évier). même nos draps �...
The staff was attentive if you asked a question but that's all, it lacked initiative: water not renewed unless you ask after being passed by the empty canister 5 times, hand wipes not replaced if not handed over by the cleaning lady, and the housekeeping clearly leaves much to be desired. really very dirty kitchen,all the time (dust, food in the sink). even our sheets were dirty and worn
Wir haben in einem der 6 Tipi Zelte geschlafen. An sich sehr süss gemacht. allerdings ist es extrem laut, da alle anderen Zelte dkrekt angrenzend daran sind sowie auch die Strasse. Zudem hatten wir dke Gerüche des Abwassers von der Toilette direkt um die Ecke und somit auch im Zelt. die Matratzen waren recht unbequem und wir sind jeden morgen mit Rückenschmerzen wach geworden. es gibt auch nicht viel Platz um seinen Koffer auszubreiten. für 1-2 nächte passt es. alle waren sehr nett, Lage gu...
We slept in one of the 6 Tents Types. It was very nice. However it is extremely noisy, as all the other Tents are right next to it as well as the Strasse. We also had the smell of the toilet flushes right around the corner and so in the Tents. The Mattresses were quite uncomfortable and we woke up every morning with back pain. there is also not much room to spread his suitcase. for 1-2 nights it was passt. all were very nice, Location good.
the hostel was ok, I enjoyed my stay there.
Hostel was basic and didn’t have much atmosphere. Decent location

great place but very noisy at night because of the neighborhood
Très bonne ambiance familiale
Very good family atmosphere
Endroit avec un staff hyper cool qui participe vraiment a toutes les acgivites; presque plus une guest house qu’un hotel. Le staff est majoritairement mexicain, ça change un peu des autres hostels, pour le mieux. Belles rencontres, ambiance tres familiale.
A place with a hyper cool staff who really participate in all the activities; almost more of a guest house than a hotel. the staff is mostly Mexican, it changes a little from other hostels, for the better. nice meetings, very family atmosphere.
À premier coup ça n'a l'air de rien. Mais tout le charme de ce petit hostel réside dans les hôtes qui l'animent et qui l'habitent. Si tu veux une ambiance bohème, tranquille, familiale: cette place est faite pour toi!
At first glance it may seem like nothing but the whole charm of this small hostel lies in the hosts who animate it and inhabit it if you want a bohemian, quiet, family atmosphere: this place is for you!
This was such a cute place! I loved that we basically lived outside. We stayed in one of the huts and it was bigger than I thought. Also the people working there were lovely. Loved it!
Great hostel, friendly and helpful staff, easy to meet people and make friends. Highly recommended.
Het is een prima hostel, rustig, wat weinig activiteiten. Als je in de nacht buiten slaapt (tent of tipi) is er veel geluidsoverlast van honden uit de buurt. Oordoppen zijn echt nodig.
It is a nice hostel, quiet, little activity. when you sleep outside at night (tent of tipi) there is a lot of noise from dogs from the neighborhood. earplugs are really necessary.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff and volunteers are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always happy to help with any request. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, which makes you feel at home right away. I can totally recommend this place and would definitely come back!
The shower was not working and I was mid shower, which can happen. Just the staff was so rude about it because her boyfriend was there and I had to interrupt her and she was so annoyed and did not help me.
Nice budget friendly Hostel. The staff is amazing, kinda hippie vibes though. Genesis was really sweet! Another receptionist who just started working there when I was checking out was super cool and open minded. It's nice to have a chat with them
Great location (5 min to beach and center), Dorms are well designed to put all your stuff without blocking things, beds are comfy. Daily activities, which are not really promoted though (there is a whatsapp group but no one uses it). Would stay again
Very chill hostel. Activities are kinda all over the place but the staff / volunteers are kind. Really good beds in the 6 bed dorm best sleep in mexico
Nice hostel very close to the beach. we had some problems with the water but overall it was a nice stay
Wir haben in einem der Zelte geschlafen und es war super! :) selbst bei Regen war es sehr gemütlich Die Leute im Hostel sind super lieb - würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen
We slept in one of the tents and it was great! :) even in the rain it was very cozy The people at the hostel are super nice - would definitely come back
Un séjour vraiment incroyable dans ce petit camping ! Le personnel est très aidant à l’écoute, souriant et créer une ambiance très conviviale ! Très proche de la plage, super pour prendre le temps . Les dortoirs sont propres et bien fait. Une ambiance très Chill et convivial. N’ayant pas beaucoup de temps, je n’ai pas eu la chance de goûter le petit déjeuner que tu m’as été beaucoup vanté!Si j’avais pu y rester une semaine, je pense que je serais resté plus longtemps!Je r...
A really amazing stay in this small campsite ! the staff is very helpful in listening, smiling and creating a very friendly atmosphere ! very close to the beach, great for taking time out . the dorms are clean and well done . a very chill and friendly atmosphere . not having much time, i didn't get the chance to taste the breakfast that you have been so bragging about! if i could have stayed there for a week, i think i would have stayed longer! i highly recommend thank you !
